[Verse]
(The rhythm follows the bass and drum mostly and is clear at "Make me a drink")

(Capo on the 1st fret)
G                      C
Meet the son of a Government man
G               C
and a pillar of salt
G                   C
I was born with blood on my hands and
      F                 C
have all signs of a bleeding heart
G                 C
Living high on a giant hog
G            C
and a mountain so steep
G                     C
keep your head in a hollow log as
      F             C
the ruling fog are about to creep

[Verse]
Dm            G
What have we done?
C                G            F
How'd we get so far from the sun?
Dm                 Am
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
         C             G           F
where a tiny few catch all of the rays
G                   C
Out beyond the western squalls
G             C
In an alien land
G                C
they work for nothing at all
            F                      C
they don't know the mall or the lay-away plan
G                   C
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
G               C
everything you could want
G                 C
Maybe those invisible slaves are
     F                    C
too far away for a ghost to

[Verse]
Dm                 G
haunt, what will we charge
      C               G        F
for letting go of a claim so large?
Dm              Am
Oh, all of our working days are done
       C                 G           F
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
      C           G             F
Get used to the dust in your lungs

[Instrumental] (x2)
C F (x3)
G

(There is a simple riff with two guitars)

[Verse]
         Dm     Am
Is there no way down
           C              G
from this peak to solid ground
   Dm               Am
without having our gold teeth
                  G      F
pulled from our mouth?

[Instrumental]
G  F (x2)
C (stop)

[Verse]
G     C
Make me a drink
G        C
strong enough
G         C                   F
to wash away the dishwater world
        C
They said was lemonade
G     C
Walk with me
G         C
after the show
G       C           F
Maybe we can find a way
             C
through the minefield in the
Dm               G
snow, what will they charge
      C               G        F
for letting go of a claim so large?
Dm              Am
Oh, all of our working days are done
       C                  G           F
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
  C               G             F
Apologies to the sick and the young
      F           G             C
Get used to their dust in your lungs
